I wish Toronto would build some tram-train routes to provide local service for communities that are near railroads but don't get much benefit from the commuter services.

What routes will the new Class 398 Citylink Tram-trains will operate on. Obviously serving Cardiff, Newport and South Wales. Perhaps Transport for Wales should order more new trains to operate on the North Wales Coast Line, Mid Wales Line and other lines in Wales. And new trains to replace the older trains that are to be moved for scrap as they are over 30-40 years old. Nice to see some massive changes to the railways in Wales.

The changes we have seen in West Wales is a forced changed at Carmarthen, which is fine until a late running TfW service is signalled across the path of the onward connecting TfW service which then departs while we are changing platform. Not good enough TfW. We are sick of getting a third rate service in West Wales. Promises of " jam tomorrow" does not compensate for the years of neglect and farce.

The Cardiff tram trains, class 398 are based on the Stadler (formerly Vossloh) Citylink platform, while the Merseyrail class 777s are based on the Stadler Metro platform. The Sheffield Super tram (class 399) is also based on the Citylink platform. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadler_Citylink

So the short answer is no, the Class 398/399 and Class 777 are not related.

Trams aren’t like intercity rail. They are for short trips a little longer than one you would normally take by bus and a little shorter than one you would normally take by underground or light city rail. It’s not really for trips long enough to warrant a toilet.

This is a tramway, not a train. Similar route lenghts are in Manchester, Nottingham or Blackpool. There ride can take up to 1 hour on full lenght of route, and no toilets there as well. Only difference is - this one in Wales can use rail tracks.

So even though these tram trains are designed to run on rail tracks and tram tracks (have I got that right?) does it mean we’re going to get any of these actually running on tram tracks like in Nottingham and some other UK cities, or they will be just confined to rail tracks between railway stations?

@@memediatekYes indeed - this type of vehicle allows to go into public space without "special" segregation. Can run on tight curves and steep hills. So it is a basically a tram with "train control equipment" like AWS in UK. And this is why toilets are not included as well. Doors not must be on high level. Can be at ground level like Sheffield's Tram-Train. For comparsion: Normal train tracks must be protected from peds/cars for safety reason.

Oh! Good luck with the toilet false claim. (Convenient for you to say that, but not for your passengers!!) So that rules out a lot of over 65's using your service, doesn't it? And by the way, they are not trams if they don't travel, substantially, on the streets. Otherwise they are just sub standard trains. Pip Pip.
